Possible What happens if… A possibility worth considering, not a forecast.

The requirement for Senate approval creates a political tug-of-war over tax rules, making it difficult for the United States Congress to pass major legislation. Political disagreements exist between Democrats and Republicans regarding tax cuts and corporate tax rates. For instance, some Democratic proposals suggest raising the current corporate tax rate of 21% to between 25% and 28%. This legislative deadlock creates uncertainty for businesses trying to plan investments and future business decisions.
